“We’re trying as best we can as a law enforcement community to make it work so that citizens can express their 2nd Amendment rights,” former Dallas Police Chief David Brown said almost a year ago in response to armed protesters. “But it’s increasingly challenging when people have AR-15s slung over their shoulder and they’re in a crowd. We don’t know who the good guy is versus the bad guy when everyone starts shooting.” But Brown has an awfully short memory. He doesn’t seem to recall the time when Texas cops didn’t have a problem distinguishing who needed to be stopped (and who was helping them stop him.) He conveniently forgot the time when college students retrieved their rifles and pinned down the UT Austin sniper, some even risking their own lives. And if not being in uniform is too much for his guys to handle, they’re endangering the lives not just of citizens, but of plainclothes police and state and federal agents who may be at a breaking violence scene as well. The mental gymnastics employed by Brown in that short statement makes it seem like he’s all for peaceful people arming themselves. But his disingenuous words were meant to bring about more gun control, not less.

The website even quotes anti-gun cops hell bent on the destruction of the right to keep and bear arms as if it’s somehow making these LEOs look good. “During my 47-year career in lawenforcement, I’ve seen how responsible, trained professionals can use firearms to save innocent lives, and what can happen when guns fall into the hands of dangerous people who want to inflict harm on our communities,” said Charles H. Ramsey, former Philadelphia Police Commissioner.

“I’m proud to join Congresswoman Giffords, Captain Kelly and my fellow law enforcement leaders in this important fight because we need more than just thoughts and prayers to protect our nation’s law enforcement officials and communities. We need commonsense, responsible solutions.”
